Prosecutors said Molina helped operate the insurance fraud and submitted fraudulent bills for people she knew participated in staged accidents. She worked as an office manager at the OVY Rehabilitation Medical Center and the HHR Medical Center, two chiropractic clinics on Congress Avenue.

The clinics received PIP insurance payments of more than $540,000 that were split between several participants in the fraud, according to court records.

The maximum punishment is 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine when Molina is sentenced Dec. 14.

Molina's co-defendant, Obelio "Ovy" Rodriguez, 43, has been declared a fugitive. Prosecutors said he smuggled much of the money to Cuba.
